3rd – 6th CLASS

E ENCORE VOCAL PROGRAMM

Keep on SingingWelcome back everyone and I hope you and your family had an enjoyable Easter break! And perhaps you had a little time to explore some of the singing resources we shared with you before the break that inspired you to do a little singing.

To build your own personal confidence with singing, don’t forget to just

Sing!! - seems obvious but if you’re someone who wouldn't normally sing during your day then start trying to do it. What I mean by this, is to start singing, lilting or humming in the shower, in the kitchen while you are help make dinner, or as you get dressed, or just styling your hair. It doesn’t matter what you sing - the act of simply doing it exercises your vocal folds and builds up your stamina for it. If nothing else, it will simply put you in a good mood!

Below is a lucky bag of musical treats from the MG Vocal team for you to dip in an out of as the mood takes you - Lots to keep you busy with music with a special challenge at the end!

ONCE UPON A TIME IN SELF-ISOLATION ……………………………………………………….

“FOLD-OVER” RAP GAME

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:-What you need: piece of paper, pencil or pen, at least two people but the more the better!

1. Makes sure to check out Ali’s video tutorial above ahead of attempting the exercise.2. Take a look at the WORD CLOUD above to give you some prompts and inspiration as you are

writing your sentences.3. The first person writes a sentence and passes it to the next person, making sure no one else can see

the lyric.4. The second person writes a sentence that rhymes with the first and then FOLDS OVER the first

lyric, so that only their lyric is visible.5. The third person writes their rhyming lyric and folds over the previous lyric, and passes it to the

next person, and on the game goes so that at all times, only the previous lyric can be seen.6. When you have completed a number of rounds (at least 8 to 10 lines), unfold your paper to reveal

the full rap.7. If you have access to Spotify or YouTube, find a rap backing track and rap your lyrics together! Or

you could have someone do some beatboxing while the others rap!8. Optionally, we would love you to share the performance of your RAP with us here at Music

Generation by emailing it to : musicgenerationcarlow@kcetb.ie
